When Su Bei opened her eyes, she felt that she had slept so comfortably and had a long and beautiful dream. In the dream, there were her parents, she was smiling, Chu Younan was looking at her, and there were a lot of children...

When she thought of the large group of children, she quickly opened her eyes and saw Chu Younan looking at her with concern, "Abei, how do you feel?"

"Me? I slept well and didn't feel uncomfortable at all..." Su Bei didn't realize there was anything wrong.

But Chu Younan suddenly hugged her so tightly that she almost couldn't breathe.

For her, it was just a nap, but for Chu Younan, these ten days were torture every day.

That day he went to the Zunyi Palace and heard Su Xiujie's thoughts. In fact, Su Xiujie already knew that his master had poisoned Su Bei, but he couldn't tell the truth because Jiang Liu was a very strange person. If he angered him, he might not give Su Bei the antidote.

It was because of this concern that Chu Younan chose to hide the truth from Su Bei, allowing Jiang Liu's plan of faking his death to be implemented smoothly.

But whether Jiang Liu wanted Su Bei to fake her own death or really wanted her life, Chu Younan could only take a gamble.

Fortunately, he won the bet, and now he felt like he had regained something he had lost.

"Uh... let go, Chu Younan! Dun Dun'er! Let me go! I'm suffocating!" Su Bei exclaimed while pushing him.

Chu Younan quickly let go, but was greeted by Su Bei's repeated exclamations: "Chu Younan! Where are the things in my room? My vase and my screen, where did you put them? Oh no! Why did you even change my bed?"

This is the Huguo Temple!

Without waiting for his answer, Su Bei saw Jiang Liu standing there and laughing, and he exclaimed again: "Oh! Old man Jiang! You are too cruel! Those things of mine are very valuable, and you took them all away? You didn't leave any for me?"

Jiang Liu was caught in the crossfire and walked forward with an innocent look on his face, "Girl, this is for you!"

What he handed over were some gold bills.

Su Bei was stunned, took it and looked at it, then looked at him suspiciously, "Why are you giving this to me? Those things of mine are all my favorites, not for sale!"

Before Jiang Liu could answer, Chu Younan had already frowned and looked at him angrily, "Just for two hundred thousand taels of gold, you went to so much trouble to let her fake her death?!"

Jiang Liu was thinking, I could earn two hundred thousand taels of gold just by sleeping for a few days. This deal must be too easy. I worked so hard and only earned two hundred thousand taels.

Chu Younan read it all.

However, despite his anger, Jiang Liu just glanced at him indifferently, then turned and left.

Chu Younan did not chase after him because he read Jiang Liu's thoughts again.

If I don't let her fake her death, won't the murderer find someone else to kill her? You're still acting cute after getting the advantage!

By the way, didn't Qu Feng want to hire someone to kill Su Bei that day? It seems there really is another group of people!

At this moment, Su Bei also came to her senses. Although the interior layout of the rooms was similar, the layout here was simple, and there were wooden fish and cushions. It seemed that this was not her Kunning Palace, but a Zen room.

"What's going on?" Su Bei looked at Chu Younan with a confused look on his face.

"It's okay..." Chu Younan just held her in his arms and whispered softly, "This time, just rest assured and take care of your baby. I will always be with you."

Speaking of this pregnancy, Su Bei really couldn't be at ease. She cursed the women of the Chu family to give birth to two, three, or four children at a time, and she saw Xue Jinrong give birth to four children with her own eyes. How could she not be panicked? She touched her belly and remembered the previous dream. Although she was panicked, it was her own flesh and blood after all, and she couldn't and didn't want to abort it...

After all, Huguo Temple is not a good place to nurture a pregnancy. Although Chu Younan was in the temple, he knew that Ruan Tianyao had returned to the palace, Gu Rui and Qin Meizhi had also returned to Beijing, and Chu Youyang and Xue Jinrong were on their way back. So he boldly came up with an idea and took Su Bei and several children to Qianjun Mountain.

The children were still young, and Chu Younan deliberately concealed the news of the Queen's death from them, so little Baozi and little Tangyuan thought it was just a trip and were extremely happy. Even the little handsome guy was dancing along the way.

The journey was slow, with stops and starts, very similar to the last trip to Xian Country, but more relaxing.

In order not to attract attention, the two of them disguised themselves slightly and became an ordinary couple, walking and strolling along the way.

This was a life Su Bei had never had since she came to this world. There was no government politics, no disputes, and no cage like the imperial palace. This made her feel more relaxed than ever before.

The pain of the end of the world seems like a distant dream...

Just as the two of them were leisurely heading towards Qianjun Mountain, Chu Youyang brought his family to Beijing.

The news of the Queen's death spread throughout the country. When Xue Jinrong first learned about it, he cried all night.

As soon as he entered the palace, Chu Youyang received a secret decree left for him by Chu Younan.

"The emperor was too sad, so he took the prince and princess out of the palace, saying that he didn't want to see anyone." The sadness on Tang Jiang's face was genuine, because he had no idea that the queen had already gone traveling with the emperor.

Chu Youyang took the secret decree with trembling hands. It said that he should take care of state affairs for the time being, and when his mood improved, Chu Younan would naturally come back.

Chu Youyang, who had always viewed government affairs as a scourge and the imperial palace as a cage, choked up.

"Third sister-in-law..." At this moment, Chu Youyang missed Su Bei very much. If she was still there, Chu Younan would definitely not leave the affairs of state to him like this...

"Your Highness..." Xue Jinrong also choked up and held his hand.

Chu Youyang and Xue Jinrong stood in the imperial study and cried for a long time.

However, he did not have that much time to grieve. He had already returned to the palace, and he had to pay his respects to the Queen Mother.

The Cining Palace was equally solemn, but as soon as Chu Youyang came in, the scene became a little off.

Although Chu Youyang had met Qin Meizhi in the temporary palace last time, he was still shocked when he saw her openly in the imperial palace this time.

Compared to him, Xue Jinrong seemed less shocked.

“Mother, mother, mother…” Chu Youyang looked at Qin Meizhi and Gu Rui, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Qin Meizhi was filled with guilt, "Youyang, mother had no choice..."

"It's me, it's me, it's all my fault!" Chu Youyang gritted his teeth and glanced at Gu Rui.

Gu Rui chuckled and stepped forward, saying, "Your Highness, don't blame yourself. I have taken good care of Mei Niang during this period..."

“Oh!” Chu Youyang sneered, “Mother, you are lonely in the deep palace. As your son, I should have thought of you earlier. I will prepare a gift for you!”

"No need..." Qin Meizhi breathed a sigh of relief. She felt very sorry for Chu Youyang for faking her death.

But Chu Youyang's expression made it seem as if he had a grudge against Gu Rui. "Someone, come here! Tell me the king's order to select twenty handsome men and give them to this lady Mei..."
